Disable Roslyn code analysers on a specific project

Question

I want to add custom assertions to XUnit's Assert, so:

• I created a "helper" project that references the nuget package xunit.assert.source
• I add my custom assertions in that project
• I referenced that helper project from my test project.

That works.

However because that is imported as source, I get hundreds of code analyzer warnings on every build in the cli, and my vscode goes crazy by performing analysis as well.

I tried - unsuccessfully - to disable it for that project by doing this in the csproj:

  <PropertyGroup>
    <EnforceCodeStyleInBuild>false</EnforceCodeStyleInBuild>
  </PropertyGroup>

How can I disable analysis for that specific project?

Answer 1

1. You can disable code analysers in .editorconfig: see this question.

2. An editorconfig in a child folder (setting root = false) will override/extend an .editorconfig in an ancestor folder.

So add a project specific editorconfig and use that to disable all the analysers you want to.
